This is how SLEEPYI am feeling RIGHT NOW …. Going to bed super late is not a good idea –

M son had me up until a little after MIDNIGHT talking about some WWE Wrestlers….. So I did what a good parent would and should have done after 12 o clock at night – act as if I was interested like I knew what he was talking about and just nodded every 10 seconds…. LOL

Now this is how LAZY that I am feeling RIGHT NOW because I stayed up to be an awesome mom! LOL – TRUST ME…..TODAY at least…….I am going to do absolutely NOTHING today at work – I worked last night with my son! LOL

Those of us with memory can recall the past, and it’s these reflections that we often term the Greatest Moments. People consider memories, and the memories they term Great especially, to be an important part of their identity and character. But although most people agree that they have had greatest moments, what these moments actually are is a highly subjective matter, both for individuals and societies.

The Greatest Moments in life are similar only in that they seem to be memories of an event, memories that have a great effect on the person or society concerned, and as such, they are susceptible to the same bias, inaccuracy, and mental editing that affects the rest of our memories. In many ways our memories are more our own construction than any real reflection of reality, and the importance we place on parts of the past is often disproportionate to the actual effect they had.

So if we can’t necessarily understand the importance of the moments other people say are the Greatest, how can we be sure that our own Greatest Moments are actually important at all?

The past on the other hand only exists as our memories, and even then these memories, and therefore the moments most people deem the Greatest in life, are really our own creation, and therefore the effect they have on our lives is also not as Great as perhaps we think it is. If the Greatest Moments in life are the most important ones, the moments that define us, surely the only Great Moment is the present?

These other events, these memories are only a reflection of something that no longer exists, and clouded, subjective reflections at that. The present, on the other hand, is a moment of near infinite possibilities. Now, as you sit here, the Greatest moment of life is being played out.

THE PRESENT actually is the only moment in life you can change, the only instant that is significant and the only thing that exists.

We cannot change the past and we CANNOT predict the future….we can PLAN for it but it is no guarauntees.
